The exhibition "Terrestrial Perspectives" brings together works which open up diverse perspectives on the complex interaction between humans and their environment. On show is a concentrated selection of around thirty photographs, prints, paintings, sculptures, and video works, complemented by a few performative formats. Starting with the collections and exhibition history of the Ludwig Forum Aachen, artistic practices from Land Art of the late 1960s through to the most recent present are featured which share an interest in engaging with the earth’s surface: from constructive and conceptual approaches through to critical perspectives on local and global structures of land usage, raw materials acquisition and exploitation, as well as the consequences resulting from dramatically changing natural environments.
